Sempio Somyeon 500g

Authentic Korean · Sempio Somyeon

Somyeon (素麵) is a traditional Korean dried thin wheat noodle, made from wheat flour and refined salt. It is one of the most beloved noodles in Korean households, used in a wide variety of broth-based and seasoned dishes such as Janchi-guksu, Bibim-guksu, and Kimchi Mari-guksu. Similar in thickness to Italian capellini or spaghettini, Somyeon has a smooth, delicate texture with a satisfying springy bite. Sempio, Korea's iconic food brand founded in 1946, crafts these noodles using a vacuum-aged dough process that gives them exceptional elasticity and resilience.

Somyeon itself is characterised by a clean, mild wheat flavour. Its neutral profile makes it the perfect base for a wide range of Korean dishes, allowing the flavours of broths and sauces to shine through.

How Koreans Use It · Recetas Coreanas

Here are six of the most popular ways Sempio Somyeon is enjoyed in Korean households. Much like Italian pasta, the same noodle transforms into an entirely different dish depending on the broth or sauce it meets.

Janchi-guksu

잔치국수

Korea's most beloved Somyeon dish. Cooked noodles are served in a clear broth made from dried anchovies and kelp, topped with sliced zucchini, egg garnish, and crumbled dried seaweed. Traditionally served to guests at celebratory gatherings — "Janchi" means "feast" — it is a warm and comforting Korean classic.

Bibim-guksu

비빔국수

Chilled Somyeon tossed in a spicy-tangy sauce of Gochujang, vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Served with Kimchi, julienned cucumber, and a boiled egg, it makes a satisfying one-bowl summer meal. Think of it as a Korean-style spicy cold pasta.

Kongguksu

콩국수

Somyeon served in chilled, freshly blended soy milk — a beloved Korean summer specialty. The creamy, nutty plant-based broth is wonderfully refreshing on hot days. Entirely vegan, it fits perfectly into a plant-based European diet.

Kimchi Mari-guksu

김치말이국수

Cold noodles served in chilled Kimchi broth alongside Kimchi. The natural tanginess of Kimchi and the refreshing cold broth pair beautifully with the noodles, making this a popular Korean home-style dish especially on warm days.

Yachae-guksu

야채국수

A warm vegetable broth noodle soup loaded with zucchini, onion, carrot, and mushrooms, seasoned with soy sauce or Doenjang (Korean soybean paste). Perfect for vegan and vegetarian diets, and also enjoyed in the style of Korean temple cuisine.

Janchaeguksu (Jajang)

간장국수 · 잔치국수 변형

A simple Korean-style tossed noodle dish seasoned with just soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped spring onion, and crumbled dried seaweed. Easy to prepare, it is a popular quick lunch in Korea on busy days — think of it as the Korean equivalent of Italian aglio e olio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Sempio Somyeon? How is it different from regular pasta or vermicelli?

Sempio Somyeon is a traditional Korean thin dried wheat noodle made with just two ingredients: wheat flour and refined salt. Similar in thickness to Italian vermicelli or capellini (angel hair pasta), Somyeon is distinguished by its exceptionally smooth texture and springy bite, and cooks in just 3–4 minutes. It is versatile enough for cold summer noodle dishes (Bibim-guksu), hot broth soups, and stir-fried preparations.

Is this Somyeon suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet?

Yes. Sempio Somyeon is made exclusively from wheat flour and refined salt, with no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever. It is fully suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets. Please note that sauces and toppings should be checked separately for their vegan status.

I have allergies — is this product safe for me?

Sempio Somyeon contains gluten as an allergen. The main ingredient, wheat flour (sourced from Australia and the USA), contains gluten. People with a wheat or gluten allergy or intolerance (e.g. coeliac disease) should not consume this product. This product is not gluten-free. In accordance with EU food labelling regulation 1169/2011, the gluten allergen is highlighted in bold in the ingredients list.

I've heard Somyeon has a high sodium (salt) content — are there any health considerations?

Salt is added during the production of Sempio Somyeon, resulting in approximately 2.5g of salt (approx. 1,000mg sodium) per 100g. This figure is declared on the nutrition label as required by EU Regulation 1169/2011. Those following a low-sodium diet or managing blood pressure should be mindful of portion sizes and consider the total sodium intake when adding sauces or broths. Rinsing the cooked noodles thoroughly under cold water can help reduce some of the surface salt.

How should I store and cook Somyeon?

Storage: Before opening, keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, store in an airtight container or resealable bag and use as soon as possible. Cooking: Add the noodles to a generous amount of boiling water and cook for 3–4 minutes. Once cooked, immediately rinse under cold (or iced) water to remove excess starch — this gives the noodles a firm, springy texture. Serve cold tossed in sesame sauce or soy dressing, or add to a hot vegetable broth for a warm noodle soup.
